Sentences of up to 15 years for Tunisian synagogue attack

TUNIS: Tunisian courts handed down prison sentences of up to 15 years to five defendants tied to a deadly May 2023 attack on a synagogue on the island of Djerba, one of their lawyers told AFP Monday. The attack on the Ghriba synagogue left five people dead, not including the assailant, a National Guard officer, who was killed during the attack. A student and the attacker’s fiancee, who were prosecuted for “complicity in homicide” and “membership in a terrorist group,” were sentenced to three and eight years in prison respectively, said Nizar Ayed, lawyer for several victims of the attack.
